Upgrading your windows to EnergyStar rated National Vinyl windows can add to the asking price of your home. As mentioned before, windows preserve most of their initial value especially given their long life expectancy. At a rate of 72.3% estimated for 2020 an average total window replacement job costing $17,925 would preserve $13,018 of its initial value.
Moreover, many buyers are willing to pay a premium for energy savings. Here we try to ascertain : What’s the ROI on energy savings when selling the house? The following is what we discovered in Needham:
Basic Dual-Pane to National Vinyl
If you already have dual-pane windows (non-EnergyStar rated), in Needham, your home value could increase by around $1568.1 and $2483.51 for a mid-tier or top-tier Needham home respectively. For comparison, the same upgrade in Boston could add somewhere between $1482 and $2347.15.
Single-Pane to National Vinyl
When upgrading from low-efficiency single-pane windows, the potential is even greater. Needham homeowners could see an estimated home value increase of between $5107.12 for mid-tier homes and $8088.5 for the top tier. Compare this to between $4472 and $7082.62 in Boston.
Another way to look at it, a window investment in Needham can add anywhere from 0.15% percent and 0.77 % percent to the sale price of your home through the energy efficiency premium buyers have shown a willingness to pay. Combined with the aforementioned +72.3% retained upfront worth of your windows, and National Vinyl’s lifetime warranty, the value proposition for a Needham homeowner is relatively strong.
The variation between the range for Needham and Boston, which for reference, would yield a potential premium range of 0.14% percent and 0.22% percent respectively, is derived from a number of factors, particularly; the 0.65% percent difference in median home prices, a buyers’ likelihood to pay more for energy savings at a given price range in the Boston-Cambridge-Newton region, and energy price differences between Needham and Boston.
